Unemployment Compensation
Unemployment compensation is supposed to be a safety net for employees who lose their jobs for reasons they cannot control. Unfortunately, the unemployment system often makes mistakes in the processing of claims, or overzealous employers claim employee misconduct or voluntary leave without a factual basis.
The employee is then disqualified from benefits, or the agency finds that they have fraudulently collected benefits. Many people accept these rulings without a challenge, surrendering their right to hundreds of dollars each week and, in some instances, are fined by the agency. If you have been denied benefits or have been found to have fraudulently collected benefits, you have the right to a redetermination and appeal, but you must meet very strict deadlines to preserve this right.
